Trash Compactor mod?

Post by MegaHamster7 »

I'm looking for something that permanently deletes items from the game automatically. Either a chest that deletes it's contents or something similar. Like a trash compactor!

I've tried searching for a mod that does this but I can't find anything. Maybe I'm searching for the wrong thing?

Does anyone know of a mod that does this? Thanks!

Moved from General.

Maybe the test-mode mod is ok-for you? https://forums.factorio.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=46

(sad, that the creative-mode mod isn't updated to 0.12 https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... =87&t=8976)
Cool suggestion: Eatable MOUSE-pointers.

Item destroyer mod is sort of what I'm looking for but I was hoping to find something that was more in line with the feel of the game. Having a black hole seems a bit silly...

I think I'm going to take a look at how hard Factorio modding is. I'd like an incinerator which destroys items but produces pollution in return.

Want a vanilla solution? Grab a requester chest, fill it with overflow, and place it directly in the line of biter raids. Bonus points for using combinators or smart inserters to NOT complete ly empty yoir system. More bonus points to auto replace it and clean up the test of the mess they make.

Or shoot it using the C button or a shotgun.

That's the manual way, yes. But you can't automate item destruction in the traditional way. Biters have to get involved in some way, at which point you can either let them have the chest, or force the chest's destruction by planting some land mines in the path next to one.
